In the vibrant heart of Amsterdam, just behind the Dam Square, lies Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal. Here, at number 284, a Rijksmonumental property is now for sale – a unique opportunity to own this extraordinary home!
This stunning and characteristic property boasts an abundance of original features, complemented by all the modern amenities required for contemporary living. Rarely have we seen such a meticulously restored property that also offers modern luxury.
The house spans approximately 505 m² of living space across five full floors. At the rear, it features a beautifully tiled inner garden. Additionally, it is possible to create a rooftop terrace on part of the ground floor at the back; a permit for this has already been granted by the Municipality of Amsterdam.
In recent years, this section of Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal has been redeveloped by the Municipality of Amsterdam. Once a busy thoroughfare and home to the famous Stamp Market, it is now a quiet, leafy street with newly landscaped greenery.
Just 50 meters away is Wijdesteeg, where the entrance to a parking garage is located. This property comes with two spacious parking spaces in the garage.

The 44 m² garden, accessible from both the kitchen and the living room, offers an oasis of tranquility in the bustling heart of Amsterdam.
History of the Burgwallen
Originally, the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal was a canal-side fortified wall (burgwal). Before 1385, the Amstel River divided Amsterdam into two nearly equal parts: the Old Side with the Oude Kerk (Old Church) and the New Side with the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church). Each side was bordered by a burgwal. Around 1385, new walls were constructed, and the existing walls became the voorburgwal (front wall) while the new ones were called the achterburgwal (rear wall), both on the old and new sides. This division created the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, Nieuwezijds Achterburgwal, Oudezijds Voorburgwal, and Oudezijds Achterburgwal.
